If you’re goin’ back to school in the next couple of weeks, you’re in luck, Lone Flag just got a batch of freshly sewn Highland Packs courtesy of fellow San Diego-based creatives Bradley Mountain. Even if you’re not going back to school, we all need a solid backpack to lug our goods, and it helps a lot when said packs are outfitted in solid materials, not to mention designed well. Your confidence in the lifespan of a 18-19oz. waxed canvas bag won’t waver as much as say, something you picked up in the department store, when you just needed something to hold your books. The Highland Pack is something of an upgrade from that.

Made by hand in SoCal, in three neutral colorways, the Highland’s rugged details include adjustable cotton webbing straps, leather logo and zipper lashings, brass button on the front pocket with a nice and curvy pocket flap design, brass zipper, and an expandable pocket for a bottle on the side.

Available from $159 at Lone Flag.
